My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):

What a week! 🤩
For the past few days, our team has gathered in person for our annual UneeQ Summit in Auckland NZ, including an incredible night at our company awards (more on this soon!) 👀 💜
The week then culminated in being named finalists not once but TWICE for the NZ Hi-Tech Awards — New Zealand's most prestigious celebration of tech. 🚀
Thank you to all involved, including our amazing team and fellow finalists 👏
